An implementation operable by a device coupled to a sound sensor array including a plurality of sound sensors in a particular arrangement is provided. The implementation involves obtaining a plurality of simulated responses mapping respective simulated physical arrangements of one or more simulated sound sources to respective expected outputs from the sound sensor array. The implementation also involves receiving a response based on output from the sound sensor array. The response may indicate detection of sounds from a plurality of sound sources in an environment of the sound sensor array. The implementation also involves comparing the received response with at least one of the plurality of simulated responses. The implementation also involves estimating locations of the plurality of sound sources relative to the sound sensor array based on the comparison. The implementation also involves operating the device based on the estimated locations of the plurality of sound sources.
